Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

I'm bringing Strauss' book, "The Game" to high school.

I no longer care if anyone finds out that I'm into this stuff. I've read the book once, and why not read it again, in a place where I have plenty of free time?

I'm a senior. I dress well, and act non-needy. I don't care if people find out I do this stuff. When they do I can talk about it freely.

I don't care. School starts again next Monday, April 7th.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Umm...thanks for sharing? I don't understand what type of response you are looking for here.

What response are you looking for? Do what you want.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Good luck!

Can't say I would do that.

Look forward to seeing how it goes.

DON'T DO IT BRO! When I was in high school I would do that and at first I thought nobody gave a sheeet. But as time went on and I was with my group of friends ,guys and gals, the book thing would pop up in sarcastic comments and jokes from the guys and the girls would look at me weird. I found out on my own that, yeah, it was a bad idea and now years later it got validated on this site with the some article suggesting "confident men don't tell the dynamics of attraction to women". I guess you want the women to think your a natural at creating attraction inside of them instead of some wanna be nerd trying to learn the game. That is what'll make you seem mysterious, that you know something others don't, but how?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I have a friend who actually carries that around with him, not to read but to use as an opener/prop. You'd be surprised how many women have read that book (and seen/heard of Mystery) and invariably they want to talk about it, and usually approach him before he can approach them (using some excuse to talk to them while 'accidentally' showing that he has it). They go on and on about how they are immune to it, all while my friend is getting in closer with them with every second. He's had more than a few dates with women who were 'immune to it'. I guess with how popular that stuff has gotten, you have women who are all about reading it to see what the deal is. This guy has also read "He's Just Not That Into You", the "Rules" and uses that stuff to his advantage also.

I don't know how it is with high school girls - it might only work on older women. Just thought I'd mention it.
